What to expect
Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park
Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park was one of the largest slave markets for gathering people to sell into slavery during the infamous trans-Atlantic slave trade. It is especially worth seeing as a prelude to viewing Cape Coast slave castle since you will be following the route taken by the ancestors of many African Americans...Assin Manso served as the place where slaves had their last bath on their journey. It also has the site where the returned remains of 2 diasporas (Lady Crystal from Jamaica and Carson from New York) were re-buried.
